Changing MX record

my domain and email are being hosted somewhere else. When i created am email through this other place it showed "pending setup:MX record" i couldn't log into my email account. The support for that company told me i needed to find a way through wordpress to update my MX records. I am not sure how to do this... Can anyone help????

Support was correct, if your nameservers are pointing towards another 3rd party provider such as WordPress.com then they have control of your DNS. You will need to update the MX Records through them. Alternatively you can point the DNS back to Go Daddy and just point the A Record IP to your hosting provider. That will give us DNS control as well as still direct your domain to your host. However TimeThief has provided you with what seems as the correct article if you were to leave your DNS as it is configured now: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/custom-dns/ Thanks for choosing Go Daddy.! ^Colby GoDaddy.com Social Media Team

Hi coffeemanmatt, I'm having the exact same problem. A very helpful GoDaddy advisor just explained to me that I need to change my mx records in wordpress, but I don't know how to do that. Can you help?
